“As the morning show co-host, I want to play music that acts as a synergy between our two personalities and the station’s flavor \u2014 as well as separating our show from the rest of the clutter.<\/p>\n

“The two of us have off-the-wall personalities. I would like to play music which fits our personal styles. But some of our station’s hottest songs really don’t match our personalities.<\/p>\n

“Is it a good idea to separate us musically to some extent because of this?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the morning show should not be playing music that contradicts the radio station’s music image, it is quite common to have a more restrictive playlist during the morning show than in other dayparts.<\/p>\n

Often, for example, some of the “harder” songs aren’t played during in the morning.<\/p>\n

Also, your morning show probably plays fewer songs per hour than other dayparts. This means the morning playlist must be more selective, to insure that when a listener does<\/strong> hear a song during your show, it’s a hit.<\/p>\n

If you play music during your show, you are representing the station’s music brand. Playing songs that fit your personalities is nowhere as important as playing songs that appeal to your target audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
